Procedure for fixing "Y" connectors on heater hoses leaking coolant (3) »

Why didn't I get the part at the dealership? Well to be honest I do like to fix things myself but I'd much rather do it with my brother and working in his garage. I was tempted to "throw" money at the problem but there are a couple things to note: · An ordinary parts supplier is not likely to have this particular set of parts · The dealer ship does not sell the "Y" adapters OR even the "Y" adapter and attached rubber hoses. Instead they will sell you the whole assembly with the silly alluminum tubing which I had no plans on changing. And just the parts was $220. And I'm not real certain if that was one Y adapter or BOTH. · Yeah thats right. There are two plastic Y adapters, which I discovered when trying to replace one...and I cut the wrong hose. <grin> · If I bought the parts and paid the labour it would have come to the $500 estimate or more...and again I don't know if that is for one or both. · I probably might have still broke down and paid the money even for the changing labour too...if it wasn't that I'd be getting the same piece of crap the manufacturer put in...which is likely to crack again.
